WUIS launches music series downtown

Public Radio WUIS, the Sangamon Valley Roots Revival, and Samuel Adams/Samuel Adams Lite are joining together to present Bedrock 66 Live!, a nine-part series featuring live local performances of roots, bluegrass, blues, and rock music by lesser known, yet critically acclaimed national artists.

The first show features bluegrass group The Infamous Stringdusters at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 5, at the Hoogland Center for the Arts in downtown Springfield.

Seven of the nine performances will take place at the Hoogland Center; two will be on campus in WUIS' new Suggs Performing Arts Studio.
